As the weeks went by, I trained hard. My body started to change, I grew stronger, my ribs didn't show anymore. My silver-grey hair started to shine again. . I didn't recognize the person staring back at me in the mirror most mornings. I had improved a lot, earning respect from most of the warrior wolves. Every morning I helped out in the kitchen and straight after the training I went to the classroom.

The last few weeks I didn't sleep much, every time I fell asleep I woke up with a nightmare or I wasn't tired at all. My nightmare from last night, left me filled with questions.

I had to admit, I was enjoying learning about all the things. Frankly, I couldn't remember a single thing about my youth at my own pack. Dani had taken the roll as big sister over me. Kena hadn't paid much attention to me being here, I guess a part of her had kind of accepted her mate running around in her pack and the other part was still fighting me. I had noticed the glances at me, how she quickly took in my scent as I walked by.

I returned my attention back to the class as Nimue was close to finishing her lecture. 'I'll see you all tomorrow.' Nimue spoke, as the people quickly left the classroom.

I sighed, playing with the pen in between my lips. 'Want to tell me about your dream?'

She startled me. 'I, eh. I...' I tried to form a sentence. She laughed, 'Don't worry dear. You don't have to.' She returned to her table as she slowly started to clean up her books.

'It's just..' I started. 'It's just that I am starting to get the feeling that these aren't nightmares. I mean, they are. But.. they feel like stuff I've already been through.'  I explained softly, eyeing her hopeful.

She turned, motioning for me to sit back down. 'Explain your dream.'

'Okay,' I sighed. 'The first ever dream I had was my first night here. A older woman telling me to run and not to look back. Begging for forgiveness for failing.'

She nodded her head, showing me she was listening to my every word.

'Last night, I had another dream. About being captures by some men, and the smell of burning wood hitting my nose. I heard screaming, fighting and howling and it ended with a face of a wolf I've never seen before and one word I did recognize,' I frowned as I recalled the dream. 'Lycaon.'

Nimue tried to hide the surprise in her eyes. 'I see.'

'And besides that, I can't sleep.' I yawned loudly. She laughed. 'I can give you an answer to both. The dreams, they will tell you in time.' She smiled softly as she grabbed my hand, squeezing it.

'Your wolf, is telling you something with your dreams. You have to pay attention. And the no sleeping part, your wolf is a powerful one. So powerful that with no training might become quite dangerous. Your mate, Kena, also has an incredibly powerful wolf. More powerful than yours,' she started to explain.

'Two wolves, so powerful with two stubborn human beings. Your wolves are both pulling you two to each other. Your bound is growing between the two of you. It's growing powerful, the more you two fight it. The weaker you two will get and the harder it will get for their human, companions to fight it.' She clapped her hands.

I groaned, dropping my head on the table. 'So basically, my wolf is pulling me to Kena and her wolf. But my mate hates me.'

She turned me, smacking me on the arm. ''Hey!'

'Your mate doesn't hate you. Your mate is just one stubborn ass woman. Who needs to see the truth.'

I rubbed the sore spot, for an old lady she could smack you hard enough to leave  a bruise. 'Now another thing. What do you know about Lycaon?'

I shrugged. 'Not much. I just remembered the name from that one night I met you. You said I was a far descendant from his daughter.'

She smiled. 'In Greek mythology, Lycaon was a king of Arcadia, he tested Zeus' in some way. In return Zeus transformed Lycaon into a wolf. Lycaon had some offspring that Zeus killed off, what Zeus didn't know was that Lycaon had mated with a woman. With Deianira. Your mother.'
